		<description><![CDATA[That’s true (laughs). My teacher said that I should go to Eiheiji, not for practice but to see what it’s like there. You hear Eiheiji, Eiheiji, all the time and you think it must be an extraordinary place, but you go there and see it for yourself and you realize that it is nothing special — ‘This is all it is?’ Then you can relax and get down to practising. That’s the reality, isn’t it?<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=buddhismnow.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9902360&amp;post=3686&amp;subd=buddhismnow&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We can get very angry if we become attached to silence and stillness and sensory deprivation; it is so pleasant not to have things impinging on the senses once we get used to it. And if we attach to the silence out of ignorance, out of greed, then when it is disrupted we can feel very angry; we may even feel like murdering someone. So that can't be the kind of still silence the Buddha was talking about!<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=buddhismnow.wordpress.com&amp;blog=9902360&amp;post=3899&amp;subd=buddhismnow&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
